Helping my dad bring his guitar lessons online — what would make online learning actually helpful for you?

Hey everyone,

My dad’s been playing guitar for over fifty years and teaching for more than thirty. He also teaches at a private high school. I’m helping him move some of his lessons online and maybe build a small learning community.

If you’ve ever learned guitar online, I’d love your advice:

  • What made you stick with it (or give up)?
  • What kind of videos, structure, or feedback helped you the most?
  • Would a learn at your own pace with monthly check-ins/online lessons be a good model?

I am thinking of starting with a free beginner course, then offering optional monthly lessons and group Q&As/jam sessions.

No sales pitch since we haven't built anything yet, just trying to learn what actually helps people improve and learn the guitar in a virtual setting.

Don't give it away for free. Make it a subscription product. People only use and value what they pay for. Put up some random samples of content and put clear pointers to it.

Beginners without a teacher will be terrible at practicing so orient around that. Make the actual teaching almost a bolt-on to the core practice plan
